Chapter 57, Problem 3COQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The examples of mimicry used by predators to catch prey rather than to avoid being eaten.
Introduction: Animals have adapted various morphological and genetic traits to protect themselves from predators. Predators also mimic some signs of prey to catch them. This is known as aggressive mimicry.

: A genetically program form of learning during developmental stage. Example: sparrow babies learn how
to sing exactly at the same frequency as the mother. But if the babies grow isolated from their mother, the singing frequency
will be different.

- In an investigation of fruit fly behavior, an enclosed choice chamber was used to test whether the spatial distribution of flies is affected by the presence of a substance placed at one end of the chamber. To test the flies’ preference for different substances, 50 flies were introduced into the choice chamber. A piece of ripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side A and a piece of unripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side B (Figure 1). The positions of the flies were observed and recorded at the start of the experiment and after 10 minutes (Table 1).arrow_forwardMultiple Choice Question: Which of the following sensory structures of insects can detect air- or substrate-borne vibrations and may be used in vibroacoustic communication? a. basiconic sensillum b. subgenual organ c. rhabdom d.

Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding. Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing. Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input. It synthesizes sensory input to compute an appropriate motor response like leg extension etc.arrow_forward
- Female parasitoid wasps search for insect hosts in which to lay eggs, and they can often discriminate among individual hosts that are more or less suitable for their offspring. Behavioral ecologists have asked whether or not the wasps’ willingness to lay eggs in less suitable hosts varies with the female’s age. On the basis of life history theory, what pattern of change would you predict? Does life history theory make any other predictions about animal behavior?arrow_forwardSummarize; From my observation post, well camouflaged under some boxwood bushes, I delight in the contemplation of dinco young foxes that play at the door of their refuge. They have come out half an hour ago, with all caution, when the sun was peeking over the peaks. Little by little they have gained confidence; lying in the most comical postures they have been nibbling, only to end up chasing each other openly over the fresh grass that grows before the black hole of the cave. Suddenly the five foxes at the same time rush towards their fort. Almost at the same moment I smell a growing buzzing behind my head, like that produced by a flock of pigeons flying low through an oak grove. First I see a huge shadow, exactly in front of the peephole of my observatory. A brown mass is mistaken for it. It is the royal eagle. With the wings semi-closed, forming an angle with the body, with the claws open and advanced, the bird of Jupiter is materially nailed against the wall of the fox…arrow_forwardadapted from What Is That Bird?by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The first step in bird identification is learning to observe. Watch, listen, and record your observations in a journal using descriptive words and sketches, or photograph birds to capture a permanent, detailed image that you can study later. If you are just starting to watch birds, consider familiarizing yourself with the ones that you see daily. What are their general characteristics? Are they big or small, colorful or drab? Do they sit still or flit from branch to branch? Then, try comparing new birds that you see with the common birds that you already know. Is your new discovery the size of a sparrow, a robin, or a crow? Is its bill short or long, hooked or straight? Learning the basic form and structure, or morphology, of a bird will help you to make comparisons of birds. Concentrate on the shape and size of the beak, including the relative size of the upper and lower beak; length of the outer tail…arrow_forward
